ing paper and read of railroad accident
in which the engineer died under the
wreck OF his engine, his whole duty nobly
done. We read how the captain went
down with his chip; how the firemsn i'm
periled their lives in great confisgra-
ton.
Our thought of human nature rises
as the tides of feeling swell, and we love
men more as we catch the inspiration of
heroic deeds; or, perhaps, it is not men
In general, but one man in particular,
that we have a hatred toward. We 90
out some morning to learn that death
has been in his home and taken wife or
child, and we know that there is no room
In his heart now for ill-will; it is too full
OF grief. 1t may be it is be, himself, who
went away in the darkness We note the
sorrowful cries of his little children and
OF his desolate wife, and we say that the
man who can be so truly mourned by
those who knew him best must have had
much of tenderness in his nature. So
time and death reveal all things, and a
brotherhood of thought and feeling runs
through the race.

The proposition to raise 5000 for
the Convention during the current year
thus doubling its resources of useful
ness went through with unanimous
vote. There is no doubt, that this
sum can be raised; but it will take
more than the vote at New York to
accomplish it. If each contributing
church will add correspondingly to its
contributions the amount can be raised
not without. 1t is the "bounden
duty" of every pastor and delegate who
voted for the proposition to increase the
Convention offering in the ratio that if
followed up along the line will result in
success. Let the brethren who voted
"yea" in New Y ork, vote "yea" also at
home; and vote early and often until
the parish contribution is brought up
to the enlarged figures.
Two excellent speeches in favor of
Sunday collections were made by Rev.
F. A. Bisbee, and Mr.. G. Ralston Ayers,
of Philadelphia. 1t is wholesome
agitation which these brethren repre-
sent, and they point with commendable
pride to the good results in the Phila-
delphia churches. But the Convention
showed no disposition to adopt this pol
icy-the Philadelphia IDEAS the finan-
cial reliance of the Convention. Again
was heard the familiar injunction,
''Push the annual contribution 70
The address of DR.. Sawyer, on edu-
cation, delivered on Wednesday night,
and reported in our columns last week,
was one of the admirable features of
the public meetings. The occasion chal-
lenged the interest and imagination of
all thoughtful minds. The magnificent
church, brilliantly lighted, and filled
with a representative congregation !;
the venerable speaker standing before
the brilliant audience, and speaking in
simple conversational tones, reviewing
the history of our church from its fee
BILE beginnings, unfolding the struggles
attending the early history of our insti-
buttons of learning, the speaker himself
identified with the movement whose
history he outlined, and rejoicing in
the large measure of success with which
God in his providence had crowned it,
in the city also, where he labored for
more than generation, and in the pull
pit of the lamented DR.. Chapin-this
Apostle of Education in the Universalist
church, made one of the most cheering
and appropriate addresses ever given
before a General Convention. The
directness and simplicity of the address,
the ample and pertinent "Reminiscences,
and the quaint wit and wisdom with
which it was interspersed, made an i'm
preston which cannot be easily effaced
from the memories of those who were
present. 1t was alone worth the jour
ney from Chicago to New York, to wit
ness the brilliant assembly, and to hear
the venerable DR.. Sawyer on this nota-
BILE occasion.

Humanity, it has been said, is always
making history. 1t is making Bible too.
When the worlds Bible is done it will
contain all the beautiful sentiments which
men have uttered since first the Christ
spirit began to work in their hearts. So
fast as men learn gentleness, patience,
charity, will this new Scripture grow.
When it is done it will speak universal
language. The inspiration of it all will
be the love of God and man shed abroad
in human hearts through the gospel Of
Jesus, the Christ. The sacred symbol of
the new Bible, as of the old, will be the
CROSS Of the divine Master standing fast
in all the "lood of years. glowing with
the immortal splendor OF the words,
"Father, forgive them for they know not
what they do"

The most hearty and emphatic vote
of the Convention was recorded in favor
of the adoption of the Report of the
Committee on Foreign Missions. Not
a dissenting voice was raised, and the
special emphasis of the vote was sig
nificant of the new spirit of the church
in regard to missions. The form in
which the matter was presented di-
rectly appeals to those specially inter-
ested in this proposed enterprise of the
church; and the proposition to seek
subscriptions for a term of five years
to inaugurate the movement and thor
oughly test the denomination on this
point, was wise and judicious. The
temper of the Convention was strikingly
exhibited by volunteer subscriptions. If
the matter had been presented on Thurs
day evening, after the hearty adoption
of the report, there is no doubt what
ever that very large sum could have
been realized.
When shall we learn the wisdom of
utilizing these large gatherings of our
church for pressing UNCONVENTIONAL
needs and enterprises
The number of delegates answering
to their names was 119; the greatest
representation yet. We append here
with memorandum, furnished by the
General Secretary, of the attendance of
delegates, beginning with 1859 twenty
eight years ago. 1t shows the sure and
steady progress of our organized church:
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-05

AFTER all it does make difference
how one puts things. IT one begins at
forty, or fifty, to say that he is past his
prime, that henceforth he cannot hope to
work as he has done, that he has touched
the decline and must suffer constantly
diminishing powers so long as he lives
that is one way OF putting things which
will probably result in the very conse-
quences he is deploring. But if he con
graduates himself upon the fact of hav-
ing attained to some measure of wisdom,
OF having put yealy immaturity behind
him, and got ready to live wisely and in q
chastened spirit the remnant of the years
left to him,-that is another way of put
ting it, which will result in some of the
best, most enduring work of his life. IL
one deplores often the lost yesterdays and
their opportunities and feels that so much
being gone what is left may as well go
with it, it cannot be as we'll with him as
if, knowing that the coming to-morrows
will all bring their opportunities, he
holds himself ready to garner them up
into busy and fruitful life. Everything
except the eternal, providential adjust
ment depends upon the attitude we as
sumo toward the things around us; or, as
might be said, the subjective aspect of
things.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-11-05

This is one reason why we should
love our enemy as ourself. Every selfish
act, or selfish thought, lowers the general
tone, makes it harder for all men to live
up to the level of the perfect life. An
other reason is the hope that religion
ever holds out that the most malicious
may in time be reclaimed, and enter upon
our true heritage OF holiness and happi-
ness. The one complete atonement of
Christ for sin had this essence. It pro-
ceeded upon the conviction that the worst
OF sinners might be brought back to the
enjoyment OF our whole estate of peace
and JOY and holiness in the Fathers
house. Christian love is not baffled by the
falseness and unkindness of the world for
it is its own perennial fountain of
strength. Love trusts on, ever looking
for the coming of the time when all ene-
mics shall be put under its feet.

In the trip which President and Mrs.
Cleveland have just finished, they avoid
ed all travel on Sunday. They spent
every Sunday either in quiet and much
needed rest or in church. They are GER
tainly to be commended for the example
they have set before the world. The mass
of people naturally look to those high in
authority as pattern of the proprieties.
The president of the United States could
never be justified in any dissertation of
the Sabbath.

How often it happens that just when
the low temper OF society, the greedy
scramble OF business, some new outbreak
of public wrong have made us feel that
human nature Is but a poor thing at best;
that just then we are suddenly thrilled
with the knowledge Of some generous
deed done by the poor human nature we
were trying so hard to despise How
often il happens that just when we had
made up our mind that nobody is
trusty, when we began to doubt whether
it was well to put faith even in those we
love best, just then some supreme
act of charity or self-sacrifce has come
suddenly to light. We pick up the morn

ACROSS the way from where we write
there is a huge volume of black smoke
constantly rising up into the sky. The
smoke is all the proof we have, but we
know that there are great fires burning
somewhere in that building, and the fuel
in them is black sooty coal. Following
the smoke down to its place of beginning
we shall find these swelterlng fires. So it
is with people out in the world. All the
proof we have is the word they speak, the
things they do; but following these to the
place of beginning we find the fires and
the fuel out OF which they come. All
perf ons are self-revealing; can never be
quite so on their guard as not to be; the
fires within shine out. Out of evil
thoughts, ignorant assumptions, mistaken
ideas pours the black sooty smoke of
crime and wrong and tumult The fires
of passion, kept alive by the fuel of evil
thinking, throw out upon the world, up
into the face OF heaven, the thick, black
torrent that smirches everything around.
There is no mistake in this. 1t Is not
sometimes so and sometimes otherwise.
1t is eternally so.
